2025 Shriners Children's 500: Top NASCAR DFS picks, lineups, Phoenix driver pool from a daily Fantasy pro

Mike McClure, a professional daily Fantasy sports player with over $2 million in DFS winnings, has locked in his NASCAR DFS picks this week for the 2025 Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway

The 2025 Shriners Children's 500 takes place on Sunday, as NASCAR moves back from a road course to a traditional speedway. The green flag drops from Phoenix Raceway at 3:30 p.m. ET for the fourth race on the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Christopher Bell won last year's Shriners Children's 500 and enters off back-to-back victories this season, so he could be a popular option for daily Fantasy sports players when making NASCAR DFS picks on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings. Should you include Bell in your NASCAR DFS strategy given his recent success, or should you target others in the NASCAR DFS driver pool for the 2025 Shriners Children's 500?

Before locking in your NASCAR DFS lineups for the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure has won over $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR DFS driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday. 

McClure's model began the 2025 season by calling Chase Elliott's win in the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray for a +300 payout. Then at Daytona, it was also high on William Byron despite +2000 odds. The model also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Kyle Larson winning in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout, then predicted Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4. 

It impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021, too. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 19 winners since 2021 and hit nine in 2023 alone! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday and is revealing his top NASCAR DFS picks, NASCAR DFS lineups and driver pool.

One of McClure's top 2025 Shriners Children's 500 DFS picks is Kyle Larson ($10,500 on DraftKings and $13,000 on FanDuel). Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Denny Hamlin ($9,700 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel). Hamlin was in a position for a strong start to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season while leading the Daytona 500 before a crash on the final lap resulted in a 24th-place finish. The 44-year-old driver has seen consistent results at Phoenix Raceway throughout his career, finishing 11th or better in seven of his nine NASCAR at Phoenix races. 

McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return HUGE value for your NASCAR DFS lineups! He's in prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing HUGE in your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
